Oh my gosh guys! What an insane journey it has been so far, just to get to this point! About 1 month ago I released the announcement video for Poke Swagg Shop Racing. Announcing that a racing team is currently being built, the car is currently being sourced, and soon we would be on the track, racing in a Formula Class Car! At the time we had found a car, and agreed upon a deal. We had not sent a deposit yet or purchased the car, however I was tired of hiding this project for over a year and said "Screw it"! Then I announced it a tad prematurely. At the time the seller was going to drive to California the next week and things were looking up!

The tides changed soon after the announcement video, and the shenanigans really started to unfold. The seller backed out of delivering the car straight to us and now demanded we come to him. He was in Houston, Texas. That is about a week drive to get there and back assuming we drive 8 hours a day and have one day to take delivery of the car. Its brutal. After a couple days of going back and forth, and finally agreeing to make the trip, the seller just randomly says "Hey guys I'm leaving the country for 3 weeks, see you when I get back". Bruh. I couldn't be more annoyed.
At this point I try to find another car as we wait for this guy to get back. I did and honestly that was another whole can of worms and time wasted that I wont go into, but it was even worse then this guy. So our guy gets back from his trip after 3 long weeks. You wont believe what he does next. First thing he does when he gets back is take his new car to the track and crashes it right away. He calls us and tells us "Sorry I'm keeping the old car, just crashed my new one."
This news was devastating.
Long story short, the silver lining is here at last! A beautiful Formula Continental Race Car came up for sale last week! It was so nice that me and my dad (who is partnering me on this project) looked at each other and basically said "That's way out of our league and what we can do right now". However with great passion and desire comes stupid decisions, so we doubled the race team budget! We are determined to see this through and this is by far the most beautiful Formula Continental car we have ever seen. It is way cooler then the original car we wanted. Within 15 minutes of the car being listed for sale we put a deposit down. The car is currently being paid for this week and being ready to be shipped across the country from the East coast!
The Formula Continental Race Car is currently being designed to have a Shining Rayquaza Race Livery! The Poke Swagg Shop Race Car will be absolutely beautiful, boasting the popular Poke Swagg Shop Mystery Bags on it! I will be reaching out to potential sponsors that I have scouted out soon!
Enjoy your exclusive first look at the Poke Swagg Shop Formula Race Car!
